Hey, campers,
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
you might be wondering
why we're in a jailhouse.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.33
Julie called me and
asked me to meet her here,
00:00:04.37\00:00:06.43
so have you guys seen her?
00:00:06.47\00:00:09.70
Oh, campers, you made it.
00:00:09.74\00:00:12.07
Welcome to Bible Gems.
00:00:12.11\00:00:15.04
Julie, what are you wearing?
00:00:15.08\00:00:17.21
And why are we in a jailhouse?
00:00:17.25\00:00:19.81
Tierra, I told you,
in today's Bible story,
00:00:19.85\00:00:23.75
we learned how
Joseph went to jail
00:00:23.79\00:00:25.89
with the baker and the butler.
00:00:25.92\00:00:27.89
See, I'm the baker.
00:00:27.92\00:00:30.43
Okay, so then
where's the butler?
00:00:30.46\00:00:32.29
Oh, almost forgot.
00:00:32.33\00:00:35.00
Here you go. Hold on to this.
00:00:35.03\00:00:36.97
Okay. I'll put there.
00:00:37.00\00:00:39.23
There you go.
Now go get me water.
00:00:39.27\00:00:43.87
Stay tuned to see
what happens to Joseph
00:00:43.91\00:00:46.21
right here on Bible Gems.
00:00:46.24\00:00:49.48
Butler, I'm still waiting.
00:00:49.51\00:00:51.68
Cupcake?
00:00:55.08\00:00:56.42
I wonder where...
00:01:21.94\00:01:23.28
Have you seen
Uncle Aaron anywhere?
00:01:23.31\00:01:26.51
Now have you
guys seen Uncle Aaron?
00:01:26.55\00:01:28.28
Yes. We're
looking for Uncle Aron.
00:01:28.32\00:01:29.65
You've seen him?
00:01:29.68\00:01:31.02
Yep. Have you
guys seen Uncle Aaron?
00:01:31.05\00:01:32.99
Have you seen Uncle Aron?
00:01:33.02\00:01:34.36
You haven't seen
Uncle Aron? Here.
00:01:34.39\00:01:36.32
I'm right here.
00:01:36.36\00:01:37.69
Oh, Uncle... What do you have?
00:01:37.73\00:01:39.39
Look what I found?
00:01:39.43\00:01:40.76
I found today a
wonderful Bible gem.
00:01:40.80\00:01:44.17
Wow!
00:01:44.20\00:01:45.53
Wait a minute, let me
invite the boys and girls
00:01:45.57\00:01:47.10
around the world,
they want to hear it to.
00:01:47.14\00:01:48.87
Okay. Okay.
00:01:48.90\00:01:50.24
Welcome to Bible Gems,
00:01:50.27\00:01:51.71
and Uncle Aaron
has just found a gem.
00:01:51.74\00:01:54.58
Can you read it to us?
00:01:54.61\00:01:55.98
Yes. Let me open it up here.
00:01:56.01\00:01:57.55
Here. You want
to hold that? Here.
00:01:57.58\00:02:00.08
Today, we have a
wonderful Bible gem.
00:02:00.12\00:02:03.42
It's a story
that's found way back
00:02:03.45\00:02:05.52
in the book of Genesis.
00:02:05.55\00:02:07.36
Genesis?
00:02:07.39\00:02:08.72
Yeah, it's a story
about a boy named Joseph.
00:02:08.76\00:02:12.73
Yeah. Joseph.
00:02:12.76\00:02:14.20
I know that story.
00:02:14.23\00:02:15.56
Well, before we get into it,
00:02:15.60\00:02:17.03
we're gonna sing
our memory verse song.
00:02:17.07\00:02:19.23
So they're gonna
sing about the gem.
00:02:19.27\00:02:21.30
Mm-hm. All right.
00:02:21.34\00:02:23.71
Well, girls can...
00:02:23.74\00:02:25.41
Jodi, can you lead us in that?
00:02:25.44\00:02:27.01
Yes, it'll be Genesis 50:20.
00:02:27.04\00:02:31.21
But as for you
00:02:31.25\00:02:34.32
You thought evil against me
00:02:34.35\00:02:37.29
But as for you You
thought evil against me
00:02:37.32\00:02:43.09
But God meant it for good
00:02:43.12\00:02:47.96
To save many people
00:02:48.00\00:02:53.20
But God meant it for good
00:02:53.23\00:02:58.34
To save many people
00:02:58.37\00:03:04.15
Genesis 50:20
00:03:04.18\00:03:08.48
Uncle Aaron, is there
any way you can tell us...
00:03:11.55\00:03:14.82
Would you guys like to
hear Uncle Aaron tell a story?
00:03:14.86\00:03:17.53
Yeah! About Joseph?
00:03:17.56\00:03:20.03
Yes! Yes.
00:03:20.06\00:03:21.40
I love that story.
00:03:21.43\00:03:22.76
Okay, Uncle Aron, I'm excited.
00:03:22.80\00:03:24.13
Okay. All right, boys and girls.
00:03:24.17\00:03:26.33
Today, we're gonna dive
right into the story of Joseph.
00:03:26.37\00:03:30.34
But before we go into
Joseph being in Egypt,
00:03:30.37\00:03:33.88
I'm gonna remind you
00:03:33.91\00:03:35.24
about what
happened before to Joseph.
00:03:35.28\00:03:37.51
Joseph was at home
00:03:37.55\00:03:39.21
living in
Canaan with his family.
00:03:39.25\00:03:41.45
And he had... I
can't quite remember
00:03:41.48\00:03:43.39
how many
brothers did Joseph have?
00:03:43.42\00:03:44.89
Eleven.
00:03:44.92\00:03:46.25
He had 11
brothers. That's right.
00:03:46.29\00:03:47.62
He was the 12th brother.
00:03:47.66\00:03:49.32
And he was there,
00:03:49.36\00:03:51.09
but his brothers
didn't like him very much
00:03:51.13\00:03:53.50
'cause they were envious of him,
00:03:53.53\00:03:54.90
they were jealous of him.
00:03:54.93\00:03:56.46
And so what they did
was a shameful thing.
00:03:56.50\00:03:59.77
They sold him into slavery. Wow!
00:03:59.80\00:04:02.90
They sold him for
30 pieces of silver.
00:04:02.94\00:04:05.11
And there's poor Joseph
00:04:05.14\00:04:06.47
being taken away
into a foreign nation,
00:04:06.51\00:04:10.15
a foreign land likely not
even knowing the language.
00:04:10.18\00:04:13.45
And there was Joseph locked up.
00:04:13.48\00:04:15.88
Before he got locked
up, he got sold to a man.
00:04:15.92\00:04:18.85
Who knows the name of that man?
00:04:18.89\00:04:21.26
All right,
00:04:21.29\00:04:22.62
let's say it all
together if you know it.
00:04:22.66\00:04:23.99
Three, two, one. Potiphar.
00:04:24.03\00:04:25.59
Potiphar. That's right.
00:04:25.63\00:04:27.06
He was sold to Potiphar.
00:04:27.10\00:04:28.76
And in Potiphar's household,
00:04:28.80\00:04:30.87
he did all kinds
of things for him.
00:04:30.90\00:04:34.70
Eventually,
Potiphar recognized that,
00:04:34.74\00:04:37.67
"Wow, God is
really with Joseph."
00:04:37.71\00:04:41.61
And so he gave him jurisdiction,
00:04:41.64\00:04:44.91
he allowed him to rule
over his own household.
00:04:44.95\00:04:47.82
Well, Potiphar
had a certain wife
00:04:47.85\00:04:51.05
who, unfortunately,
00:04:51.09\00:04:53.12
was trying to do some things
with Joseph that weren't okay.
00:04:53.15\00:04:56.73
And so one day
Potiphar's wife cornered Joseph
00:04:56.76\00:05:01.03
and tried to ask
him to do something
00:05:01.06\00:05:03.26
that he knew was wrong to do.
00:05:03.30\00:05:05.80
And Joseph said to
her, "I can't do that.
00:05:05.83\00:05:08.77
How can I sin against..." Who?
00:05:08.80\00:05:11.01
Who is he afraid to sin against?
00:05:11.04\00:05:12.37
God. God. That's right.
00:05:12.41\00:05:14.44
He said, "How can
I sin against God?"
00:05:14.48\00:05:17.81
And he said, "I won't do that."
00:05:17.85\00:05:19.61
And was Potiphar's
wife happy about that?
00:05:19.65\00:05:21.52
No. No.
00:05:21.55\00:05:22.88
Potiphar's wife said,
"Oh, I can't believe it."
00:05:22.92\00:05:24.89
And as Joseph was
trying to run away
00:05:24.92\00:05:26.92
Potiphar's wife grabbed his coat
00:05:26.96\00:05:28.59
and ripped off his coat,
just as he got away from there.
00:05:28.62\00:05:32.59
And what Potiphar's wife
did was she grabbed his coat.
00:05:32.63\00:05:36.16
And she went and
she cried out and said,
00:05:36.20\00:05:38.20
"Ah!"
00:05:38.23\00:05:39.57
She said, "Oh, no.
00:05:39.60\00:05:42.20
Joseph tried to do all
kinds of terrible things to me.
00:05:42.24\00:05:45.31
Oh, no." And she
yelled out, and...
00:05:45.34\00:05:47.98
Was Joseph really
doing those bad things?
00:05:48.01\00:05:50.85
No. No.
00:05:50.88\00:05:52.45
She was lying about it.
00:05:52.48\00:05:54.65
She was lying all about it.
00:05:54.68\00:05:56.28
And eventually
Potiphar came home
00:05:56.32\00:05:58.32
and Potiphar's wife went
and told him all these things.
00:05:58.35\00:06:01.22
"Oh, you know,
Joseph was trying to do this
00:06:01.26\00:06:03.43
and hurt me and
do all these things.
00:06:03.46\00:06:05.83
"And Potiphar,
what did he have to do?
00:06:05.86\00:06:09.96
He had to throw him into prison.
00:06:10.00\00:06:12.13
Now at least he didn't die.
00:06:12.17\00:06:14.50
He threw him into the dungeon,
threw him into the prison.
00:06:14.54\00:06:17.01
Ooh! Does that sound like a
nice place you'd want to be?
00:06:17.04\00:06:19.51
No. No.
00:06:19.54\00:06:21.04
He threw him into that prison.
00:06:21.08\00:06:22.64
And there sat Joseph,
all alone, being set up.
00:06:22.68\00:06:26.15
He was framed.
00:06:26.18\00:06:27.52
He never did that
thing to begin with.
00:06:27.55\00:06:29.48
And as he was there, God...
00:06:29.52\00:06:31.69
Did God leave him? No.
00:06:31.72\00:06:33.66
No. God was still with him.
00:06:33.69\00:06:35.42
And as Joseph was in prison,
he was still very helpful.
00:06:35.46\00:06:39.26
And the jail
guard there recognized,
00:06:39.29\00:06:42.10
"Wow, Joseph is really helpful."
00:06:42.13\00:06:43.97
So he gave him
responsibilities and duties.
00:06:44.00\00:06:46.74
And Joseph was well liked
and respected there in prison.
00:06:46.77\00:06:50.64
Well, eventually,
during Joseph's time in prison,
00:06:50.67\00:06:53.84
there came along two guys.
00:06:53.88\00:06:56.34
Who were these special
guys that the Bible tells us?
00:06:56.38\00:07:00.28
Let's see. Let's
give the mic to Gavin.
00:07:00.32\00:07:02.72
Who were these men?
00:07:02.75\00:07:04.39
The cupbearer and
baker. That's right.
00:07:04.42\00:07:07.06
The cupbearer
and the baker, right?
00:07:07.09\00:07:09.42
We could call it the
butler and the baker,
00:07:09.46\00:07:12.06
the butler and the baker.
00:07:12.09\00:07:13.66
The baker made
bread for Pharaoh.
00:07:13.70\00:07:16.16
And the butler served
him his drink, his wine,
00:07:16.20\00:07:20.47
his whatever he wanted to drink.
00:07:20.50\00:07:22.07
But Pharaoh was angry at
the butler and the baker.
00:07:22.10\00:07:25.64
And he said, "Man, you
guys have offended me."
00:07:25.67\00:07:28.04
And so he threw him into
prison, just like Joseph.
00:07:28.08\00:07:31.05
Now when these
men were in prison,
00:07:31.08\00:07:33.75
they had dreams.
00:07:33.78\00:07:36.55
Who knows what kind
of dreams they dreamt?
00:07:36.58\00:07:39.82
Let's see, Jackson.
00:07:39.85\00:07:41.52
One dream was the
cupbearer's dream,
00:07:41.56\00:07:45.09
and he had the dream about
00:07:45.13\00:07:48.16
when he was
squeezing wine into...
00:07:48.20\00:07:52.20
There was a wine
00:07:52.23\00:07:53.57
and he was squeezing
wine into Pharaoh's cup.
00:07:53.60\00:07:56.94
The cups, yeah.
00:07:56.97\00:07:58.34
That's good.
00:07:58.37\00:07:59.71
Yes, that was one of the
dreams that the butler had.
00:07:59.74\00:08:02.58
That's good. Who
knows what the baker had?
00:08:02.61\00:08:04.91
What was that?
Let's go with Nathan here.
00:08:04.95\00:08:07.15
The baker's dream was...
00:08:07.18\00:08:09.72
So he had a basket full of bread
00:08:09.75\00:08:12.12
and some birds
came and took them away.
00:08:12.15\00:08:14.39
Oh!
00:08:14.42\00:08:15.76
How many baskets
were on his head?
00:08:15.79\00:08:17.13
Seven.
00:08:17.16\00:08:18.49
I think there were
three. That's right.
00:08:18.53\00:08:19.86
Three branches for the butler
00:08:19.89\00:08:22.16
and three baskets
of bread on his head.
00:08:22.20\00:08:24.30
And they were confused.
00:08:24.33\00:08:25.67
They said, "Ah, I don't
know what this dream is."
00:08:25.70\00:08:27.97
Anyone here ever had a dream?
00:08:28.00\00:08:29.34
You're like,
"Whoa, that was weird.
00:08:29.37\00:08:30.71
I don't know what that means."
00:08:30.74\00:08:32.07
Yeah? Oh, yeah.
00:08:32.11\00:08:34.08
Sometimes we have
these crazy dreams.
00:08:34.11\00:08:35.44
Well, they recognized
00:08:35.48\00:08:36.81
there is
something special to it.
00:08:36.85\00:08:38.18
So they came to...
00:08:38.21\00:08:39.55
Joseph said,
"Hey, tell me the dream.
00:08:39.58\00:08:40.92
And I can give
you the interpretation
00:08:40.95\00:08:42.28
because I know a God who
knows the interpretation."
00:08:42.32\00:08:45.35
And so there,
00:08:45.39\00:08:46.72
Joseph explained
to the butler first,
00:08:46.76\00:08:50.49
and he said, "Oh, those,
00:08:50.53\00:08:52.46
the three branches
represent three days,
00:08:52.49\00:08:55.56
and you will be
restored after three days,
00:08:55.60\00:08:58.20
within three days
00:08:58.23\00:08:59.57
to be the butler
for Pharaoh again."
00:08:59.60\00:09:02.14
Now do you think that
made the butler happy?
00:09:02.17\00:09:04.11
Yes. Oh, yeah.
00:09:04.14\00:09:05.47
He said, "Yeah, I get
to be back with Pharaoh
00:09:05.51\00:09:07.34
and do my job
00:09:07.38\00:09:08.71
and not be locked
up in this prison."
00:09:08.74\00:09:10.48
And so after the baker heard
00:09:10.51\00:09:12.58
that that was a
good interpretation.
00:09:12.61\00:09:13.95
He says, "Oh, okay.
00:09:13.98\00:09:15.32
Well, what's my interpretation?"
00:09:15.35\00:09:17.75
Unfortunately,
Joseph had to share with him
00:09:17.79\00:09:19.79
the bad news
00:09:19.82\00:09:21.16
that after three days,
he was actually gonna be...
00:09:21.19\00:09:25.89
He wasn't gonna make it.
00:09:25.93\00:09:27.30
He wasn't gonna be
able to live anymore.
00:09:27.33\00:09:30.03
And guess what
happened after three days?
00:09:30.07\00:09:31.87
He died.
00:09:31.90\00:09:33.23
He died, but the
butler, the cupbearer,
00:09:33.27\00:09:36.10
the butler was
restored back to Pharaoh.
00:09:36.14\00:09:38.17
And Joseph said, "When
you go back to Pharaoh,
00:09:38.21\00:09:40.04
remember me."
00:09:40.08\00:09:41.71
But did the
butler remember Joseph?
00:09:41.74\00:09:46.41
Not immediately,
but some time went by.
00:09:46.45\00:09:49.48
And eventually,
Pharaoh himself had a dream.
00:09:49.52\00:09:54.06
And during this dream,
00:09:54.09\00:09:55.49
he needed to
understand the interpretation
00:09:55.52\00:09:57.89
but his
magicians couldn't help it.
00:09:57.93\00:09:59.83
And what was
this dream all about?
00:09:59.86\00:10:02.43
The cows and the wine.
00:10:02.46\00:10:04.90
Wow! The cows and the...
00:10:04.93\00:10:08.04
It was the corn stock.
00:10:08.07\00:10:09.87
Very close there.
00:10:09.90\00:10:11.24
There were some cows.
00:10:11.27\00:10:12.61
And how many cows were there?
00:10:12.64\00:10:13.98
Seven. There were seven.
00:10:14.01\00:10:15.34
That's exact...
You guys are so sharp.
00:10:15.38\00:10:17.58
There were seven cows.
00:10:17.61\00:10:19.18
And there were seven
stalks of corn there.
00:10:19.21\00:10:23.65
So the first dream he had,
00:10:23.69\00:10:25.05
there were seven cows
that were really healthy
00:10:25.09\00:10:27.46
and really, you
know, fat and good.
00:10:27.49\00:10:30.06
But then seven other cows came
00:10:30.09\00:10:32.36
and they were sickly
and skinny and dying.
00:10:32.39\00:10:35.26
And those seven skinny
cows came in, they ate,
00:10:35.30\00:10:38.00
they devoured the big cows.
00:10:38.03\00:10:40.17
Can you imagine
seeing that in a dream?
00:10:40.20\00:10:42.74
Cows eating other... Whoa!
00:10:42.77\00:10:44.17
What does this mean?
00:10:44.21\00:10:45.54
And then you had the other,
00:10:45.57\00:10:47.98
the second dream
where the corn stalks.
00:10:48.01\00:10:50.25
The first seven were really big
00:10:50.28\00:10:52.18
and the next
seven were really skinny
00:10:52.21\00:10:53.65
and the same thing happened.
00:10:53.68\00:10:55.02
The skinny stalks of
corn came and they ate
00:10:55.05\00:10:57.85
and devoured the seven big ones.
00:10:57.89\00:11:00.42
And Pharaoh said,
"What does this mean?"
00:11:00.46\00:11:02.36
And Joseph came
in and he explained
00:11:02.39\00:11:04.56
that this dream meant
00:11:04.59\00:11:05.93
that seven years will
be plentiful in Egypt,
00:11:05.96\00:11:08.83
but then there will
be seven years of famine.
00:11:08.86\00:11:11.30
And Pharaoh knew
00:11:11.33\00:11:12.67
that he needed
someone smart and wise,
00:11:12.70\00:11:14.74
like Joseph to
manage all the goods
00:11:14.77\00:11:17.41
and the food of Egypt.
00:11:17.44\00:11:19.27
And so Joseph was promoted
to be second in command,
00:11:19.31\00:11:24.48
the only person above
Joseph in all of Egypt was who?
00:11:24.51\00:11:27.52
Pharaoh. Pharaoh. That's right.
00:11:27.55\00:11:29.72
And as he was putting together
00:11:29.75\00:11:31.62
and collecting
food for seven years,
00:11:31.65\00:11:33.19
guess what happened
00:11:33.22\00:11:34.56
after the seven years of plenty?
00:11:34.59\00:11:35.99
Famine.
00:11:36.02\00:11:37.36
Seven years of famine,
00:11:37.39\00:11:38.73
just like the interpretation
said would happen.
00:11:38.76\00:11:42.23
And after though, during
those seven years of famine,
00:11:42.26\00:11:45.03
Joseph's family and his brothers
00:11:45.07\00:11:47.27
back there in Canaan,
00:11:47.30\00:11:48.90
they thought, "Whoa, we heard
that Egypt has lots of food,
00:11:48.94\00:11:52.91
we should go to Egypt and see
00:11:52.94\00:11:55.31
if we can get
some food from there."
00:11:55.34\00:11:57.11
So there came, you know,
Judah and Simeon, and Reuben,
00:11:57.15\00:12:00.18
and all of his brothers
came except for Benjamin.
00:12:00.22\00:12:03.28
And when they came,
00:12:03.32\00:12:04.65
guess who
recognized the brothers?
00:12:04.69\00:12:07.26
Joseph. Joseph did.
00:12:07.29\00:12:08.62
He said, "Whoa!
These are my brothers."
00:12:08.66\00:12:10.99
And Joseph did a
few different things
00:12:11.03\00:12:12.59
to test and see if
they really changed.
00:12:12.63\00:12:15.63
That's exactly right
to see if they'd repented,
00:12:15.66\00:12:17.47
to see if they
had, you know, matured.
00:12:17.50\00:12:21.27
And along that testing process,
00:12:21.30\00:12:23.20
eventually he realized,
"Wow, they truly have changed.
00:12:23.24\00:12:27.91
They truly, you
know, do love their father,
00:12:27.94\00:12:30.45
and they do love my
younger brother, Benjamin."
00:12:30.48\00:12:33.11
And so they're
holding back tears.
00:12:33.15\00:12:35.42
Finally, he couldn't
hold back tears anymore.
00:12:35.45\00:12:37.95
And he made himself
known to his brothers.
00:12:37.99\00:12:40.36
He said, "Brothers, I'm Joseph."
00:12:40.39\00:12:42.79
Wow!
00:12:42.82\00:12:44.16
What a shock do you
think that those brothers had?
00:12:44.19\00:12:46.83
They were like, "No way!"
00:12:46.86\00:12:48.63
You know what
they did all together?
00:12:48.66\00:12:51.07
They all stood up.
Let's all stand up together.
00:12:51.10\00:12:53.70
They stood up and
with tears in their eyes,
00:12:53.74\00:12:56.40
they all had a big hug.
00:12:56.44\00:12:58.17
Let's go hug, a big hug.
00:12:58.21\00:12:59.54
Can we do that? Let's give me...
00:12:59.57\00:13:01.11
Oh, they hugged each
other and said, "Oh, I love you.
00:13:01.14\00:13:04.71
And I miss you.
00:13:04.75\00:13:06.51
I'm so sorry for
what I did for you."
00:13:06.55\00:13:07.88
He wanted to love people.
00:13:07.92\00:13:10.62
Yeah, this is more...
00:13:10.65\00:13:11.99
You know, maybe some of
the Egyptians came along,
00:13:12.02\00:13:13.59
and they've
joined in the hug too,
00:13:13.62\00:13:14.96
maybe they were crying as well.
00:13:14.99\00:13:16.32
I think that's the case.
00:13:16.36\00:13:17.69
I think they did.
00:13:17.73\00:13:19.06
Yeah.
00:13:19.09\00:13:20.43
Well, I tell
you, boys and girls,
00:13:20.46\00:13:22.16
it is about time for us to go.
00:13:22.20\00:13:24.87
But I want you all to remember
to search the scriptures
00:13:24.90\00:13:29.54
that you can find
your hidden gems there.
00:13:29.57\00:13:34.11
And that's all the
time we have for Bible Gems.
00:13:34.14\00:13:37.31
We'll see you next
time. Can we say goodbye?
00:13:37.35\00:13:39.41
Bye.
00:13:39.45\00:13:40.78
